According to the World Health Organization, 4 million premature babies die annually within the first four weeks of life – about 450 per hour. In rich countries, vulnerable babies unable to maintain their own body temperature are kept in incubators that cost as much as $20,000. Embrace has created an infant warmer costing under $300. More than 20,000 mothers in poverty have already benefitted from its lifesaving design.

The Impact on Girls

Embrace is focused on empowering mothers who are not able to access traditional healthcare. The company is developing a line of products to prevent infant and maternal mortality in developing countries, designed specifically around empowering mothers in poverty.
